"And now I'm just tying to change the world, one sequin at a time." - Lady Gaga
It's kind of a running joke with my friends and family that I'm hopelessly attracted to almost anything with sparkle or sequins. My friends, I have to admit, it's almost impossible for me to pass anything by that sparkles. I have to think twice and look three times. They just make me happy. On my birthday this year it was cold and rainy. I decided that didn't matter. I put on my sequin skirt, added tights and moto boots and I was ready to go. My Honey asked me why I was so dressed up. I said, "Well I'm not really that dressed up." I was wearing a white button down with the skirt and moto boots. No silk or heels in sight. That kind of sums up my philosophy. I think that sequins and sparkles shouldn't just be for special occasions. They can make you feel great every day.
I spied this skirt on a fellow blogger and when I found it on sale, it had to be mine. I've worn it often in the past year, to events, daytime, and my birthday dinner.
